Yeah, after all, we need to protect the financial interests of a formerly state-owned monopoly :)

This is it. Hetzner has always been very price competitive in its existence. Given the private ownership, I din‘t expect this to be a sudden outburst of greed, but to actually reflect rising costs. If a provider has higher margins, they may

This is a heavy depends. Primarily on how well insulated throughout your home your waterlines are and how frequently they are used. If you only have 50C in your tank and badly insulated lines, your temperature can dip below 50V very easily

It does. However, the hotter the water becomes, the less effective the heatpump becomes. With anything beyond 60C becoming very inefficient. With hot water tanks, they are unfortunately pretty badly insulated as well, with some of them loos

My agent struggled for 45 minutes because it tried to do `go run` on a _test.go file, which the compiler repeatedly exited after posting an error message that files named like this cannot be executed using the run command. So yeah, that was

What I find funny is that in Germany, you can only buy a house with a notary to prevent shady things (reasonable), but up until 2023, you could literally buy the entire thing with cash, without having to provide any proof of the origin of t

The problem with the reliance on self control is the self control. You have it or you don't. While I generally agree just exercising pure self control may be a viable strategy for some, it does not work for everyone. Particularly peopl

Oh without the exception of the occasional ticket checks or checking a connecting train, there really is no actual reason. But as everybody knows, old habits die hard.

It certainly is when you only look at the social media aspect of it. But always carrying a phone with you also brings an availability aspect with it. I know that saying "develop some self control" is usually a well intended advice

I still fail to see the regulation inflation. It is not like there was an absence of regulation before the EU. But now once you comply with EU regulation, you have access to a significantly larger market than before, where you had to comply

I feel this is a generally strange situation. TVs seem to be pretty much the only tech that is somehow inflation proof, and that is largely due to the surveillance capitalist approach they come with. I am a strong privacy advocate, but I al

The biggest factor is almost certainly the subsidy for switching to a heatpump. But there are other factors as well. Air to Air heatpumps are uncommon in Germany, we usually install Air to Water ones, which are more complex. Unlike other co
